Thanks for any and all comments. I mostly do Driving Sims, DTRSC & NR 2002, but will be doing other type Sims now.

What's not to like? Other than the lack of a brand name on the HDD, it looks sweet.

[mothy55]

sounds good to me but i'm new-ish only a year but fairly good on specs. Just no good at putting it in practice

[gibsinep]

Looks great!

Other than the fact that I would take a nice joystick over a wheel. But hey thats me plus I dont have enough desk space for a wheel.

Should be a very nice performing system.


(happy to see you went with AMD)

gibsinep........that's a Microsoft wheel MOUSE, but I did get Microsoft's Force Feedback Wheel too. Been using a non FF Thrustmaster wheel on the current PII 266, 128 MB Ram, 4 GB HD PC and didn't have very much Eye Candy turned on with NASCAR 3 and DTRSC. Can't wait to check this PC out.

Is there a site that has Reviews/Comments/History/Feedback on the various PC builders, like cyberpowerinc.com?

[tricktx]

thats a pretty sweet system to have. the tech world over the laast two years has boomed. That system will run anything and evrything. considering they sent a man to the moon on a 486DX25. Imagine what your can do

[gibsinep]

OMG, I sware I am going blind. I looked at that at least 6 times to check and evertime I say driving wheel.

Man I need my eyes checked.


sorry about that.

[Mach2]

NP.....LOL

Thanks for the giggles, It's being delivered tomorow. Can't wait to get Home and Fire dat Sucker Up... .

Just read about a GeForce 4 Ti 4000 Holy Mother of Pearl, that thing does 1.23 TRILLION ops @ second!!!!!!!!! This stuff changes every day, make that HOUR.

[Rugor]

That looks like a great system. All solid specs. As to the HD, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a Maxtor.

[threlkis]

I think the HDD is a maxtor they are the ones pushing the ATA-133 while intel and others are going serial ATA

nice setup,

[Duke523]

Looks good even though I am not an AMD fan. Looks like a powerful system. Only thing better is quad server boards.

Thanks for the comments Folks. I've got 3 years experience with PC's and have been reading various Forums and getting info for the day I order a new PC. I'm going to be getting it set up this weekend and will get back Monday and let you know how it is.

[Shinta]

never heard of the hdd but everything else is nice.. how much is this costing u?

[Ape0r]

Lack of brand name on the memory and 3 case fans? Shizzle that'll be loud. I have GPU, CPU and PSU fans. Then again my load temp is 58C . Can't wait for that Epox 8K3A to arrive and ditch this ****ty ASUS A7A266 .

[Mach2]

Shinta, $1256.00. Just got it out of the box and MAN, there's alot of connections on the back of this thing!!!I'll have to call cyberpowerinc.com and find out what they're for. I've got a printer, monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers.....there'll be a few connections left open after connecting them. This is a new World for me. Had a 4 year old COMPAQ flat CPU system and there weren't any connections on the back of it that were left open after connecting everything I LOVE it though............goin where I've never been before
